Vassar to Tuscola

Beginner

5.7 Miles, 2 to 3 Hours

Start: Downtown Vassar
Finish: Tuscola Township Park

This is a picturesque stretch of river, with several riffles and large rocks to navigate. There is the occasional view of private homes and agricultural fields along the banks, but this stretch is mostly wooded, and wildlife sightings are more common than one would expect. The current is moderate and begins to slow somewhat as you get closer to Tuscola.

*Perfect location for paddlers looking to adventure down 5 miles of the Cass River to Frankenmuth. This launch is a gentle slope pathway right to the water. A convenience store is located 1/4 mile from launch.
